|
| COMMENCEMENT SPECIAL EDITION |
|
|
|
As we approach commencement and the end of this academic year, I'm excited to bring you this special issue of our UCI social sciences enews featuring stories of some of our bold student changemakers. |
|
|
|
|
|
To our graduates of the class of 2024: Let me be the first to welcome you to the Social Sciences Alumni Network. As a UCI social sciences alumnus, you belong to a growing Alumni Network over 62,000 Anteaters strong who continue to make remarkable contributions around the world.
As you embark on your next chapter, your individual versions of "what's next," I hope you'll keep in touch and continue pursuing a future that makes the world a better place. Be bold, always break the mold, and be boundaryless in your pursuit.
Congratulations, social sciences graduates of the class of 2024 - zot, zot, zot!
Bill Maurer, Dean
